Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Face $2.1 Million Contractor Dispute Over New York Mansion

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds face over $2.1 million in unpaid dues from five contractors and subcontractors related to their stalled New York estate project in Lewisboro. The construction, planned to include a 14,500-square-foot main residence with eco-friendly features on nearly 110 acres, has reportedly halted amid mechanics liens filed in April 2026. Claims include work on framing, electrical systems, excavation, and heating infrastructure, with Flower Construction seeking the largest amount. The dispute highlights financial and legal challenges in completing the luxury property.
